Watercolor Wednesday: Revealing what’s underneath

Our first painting of 2020! My dad just finished this wonderful landscape of life in Minnesota with its atmospheric snow. To create it, he covered the canvas with a number of coats of white paint. Then he painted with his watercolors, and when the paint was almost dry, he took a whittling knife and scraped off some of the paint to get the white highlights. I love it!

Sit with it for a moment as you contemplate the new year. How could scraping back some of the color in your life actually produce something more beautiful?
